About the Item

19th-Century Lithograph of the Caracal and Lynx in Striking Profiles This detailed 19th-century lithograph features two remarkable wild cats: the caracal (Caracal caracal) and the lynx (Lynx lynx). Originally published in *De Zoogdieren: afgebeeld en in hunne levenswijze geschetst*, this illustration captures the defining characteristics of these elusive felines with remarkable artistic precision. The caracal, also known as the desert lynx, is native to Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia. It is easily recognized by its long, tufted ears, which enhance its acute sense of hearing. Caracals are exceptional hunters, capable of leaping several meters into the air to catch birds in flight. Unlike other small wild cats, they are known for their remarkable agility and speed, making them efficient solitary predators in arid landscapes. The lynx, found across Europe, North America, and Asia, is characterized by its short tail, distinctive ear tufts, and thick fur, which helps it survive in colder climates. Lynxes are expert stalkers and ambush predators, primarily hunting small mammals such as hares. Unlike caracals, which thrive in open areas, lynxes prefer dense forests where they can remain hidden from prey and competitors. Created by C.C. G. Zool. and printed by La Haye & J. L. G. V., this lithograph is an important piece for collectors of antique zoological prints, wildlife enthusiasts, and those interested in early scientific representations of felines. Keywords: 19th Century, Lithograph, Natural History, Zoology, Caracal, Lynx, Wild Cats, Big Cats, Caracal Caracal, Lynx Lynx, Wildlife Art, Scientific Illustration, Antique Print, Animal Engraving, Taxonomy, Netherlands, La Haye, J.L.G.V. --- Condition Summary: The print is in good condition, with minor age-related toning and light foxing along the margins. The lithographic details remain crisp, highlighting the caracal’s elegant profile and the lynx’s distinctive features. The edges show slight irregularities due to historical binding, but no major tears or folds are present. The print is well-preserved and highly collectible. --- Framing Tips: To emphasize the lithograph’s fine details, use an acid-free mat in a neutral shade, such as off-white or light beige. A dark wooden or black frame will create an elegant contrast, drawing attention to the rich textures of the fur. UV-protective glass is recommended to prevent fading over time. If displayed alongside other wildlife lithographs, matching frames will provide a cohesive and refined presentation.

19th-Century Lithograph of the Puma and Cheetah in Graceful Stances

Located in Langweer, NL

19th-Century Lithograph of the Puma and Cheetah in Graceful Stances This exquisite 19th-century lithograph showcases two remarkable big cats: the cougar, or puma (De Couguar of puma), and the cheetah, referred to as the "tiger wolf" (De Tijgerwolf of Gepard). Originally published in *De Zoogdieren: afgebeeld en in hunne levenswijze geschetst*, this illustration captures the physical differences between these two agile predators with remarkable accuracy. The puma (Puma concolor), also known as the mountain lion, is native to the Americas, ranging from Canada to Patagonia. Unlike other big cats, pumas lack the ability to roar, making them more closely related to smaller feline species. They are solitary hunters known for their stealth and adaptability to various terrains, from dense forests to arid deserts. The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus...
